Thermodynamics. Politics is about the struggle to control the flow of energy between organisms. History is about creating narratives of that struggle, in order to learn to tap the flow or to direct it. To a first approximation, a history that's disinterested in politics is like a football game commentary that's disinterested in the score.

> we need to completely re-organize it because the old model has become invalid

that's called social revolution, and those who benefit from the old model (currently that would be the holders of capital, and more so as AI grows in its capabilities and increasingly supplants human labor) will do everything in their power to prevent that re-organization
LLMs, by themselves, are going to hit a dead end. They are not enough to be an AGI, or even a true AI. The question is whether LLMs can be a part of something bigger. That, as you say, is not something anyone can currently answer for sure.
It’s their bad software bank.
> Right now, we increasingly like to stick labels on things, and I'm not sure it's helpful.

All models are wrong, some are useful.

I don't think OP is neccesarily saying the poster has autism, just that the thing they are describing is similar to something a lot of autistic people describe, so maybe reading about it would be helpful. That can be true for everyone. We can all learn from the experiences of others.
> If you tell people not to report problems unless they have a solution, and summarily dismiss anyone who does so, some serious problems might just be left rotting.

I would expand on that and say that only bad managers do so. They are paid for exactly that. Manage their people and remove the problems that make their work hard. Sure, if their direct reports come with a proposal already, that is great because they now what direction to go TK make them happy. But if the managers insist on their direct reports to report issues only with solutions, then why do they need the manager in the first place?
A healthcare professional could give you terrible advice, which is why we have legal incentives to reduce harm. Now that AI companies are worried about similar regulation, the best LLMs are very reluctant to give medical advice.
Why would that matter?

What they and other companies are doing with available publicly available data (whether copyrighted or not) is a matter of fact and subject to law. The opinion of their executives on copyright regimes is pretty much irrelevant.

It's opt-out on my Renault Megane e-Tech.

It was a very clear prompt during initial setup, and it shows me a very unambiguous notification that it's enabled every time I start the car. If I click on that it takes me to the setting.

edit: might even have been opt-in during initial setup, now that I think about it. I do recall it being a very deliberate thing during setup.

Of course I'll have to trust that turning it off actually turns it off, no way for me to verify that.

The reason I keep it on is because my SO is a bit absent minded to where she parks the car, and I value not having to run around in the streets trying to find it when I'm in a hurry over the potential privacy loss.

edit: Renault was found[1][2] to be the "least problematic" with respect to privacy by Mozilla last year.

Whistleblowers are also often subject to harassment. Treatment, stress and potentially reduced career prospects probably weigh quite heavily on most whistleblowers.

Parents all too frequently have a poor understanding of their children's mental health. The opinions of close friends is a better assessment of state-of-mind.

I have no idea how much any of this applies to the case being discussed here. I doubt other commenters have any better idea and their assessment comes down to their own biases.

Be wary of statistical claims when something 'seems to be happening a lot'. Something not happening is generally not news, so you lose a sense of what proportion of a population you are considering.

Even if you know that 30% of deaths of whistleblowers were murders, that means that for any given death the likelihood is that it was not murder.

Every case deserves to, and should, be investigated thoroughly.
For Microsoft to be in such a position makes sense, as they provide services for both US military and government (which also includes agencies), as well as for some infrastructure services. This is a pretty unique situation, compared to most other big tech companies.

Hell, there is a whole “Azure for US Government” product out there just for that, and that’s in addition to the usual AD/OneDrive/SharePoint/Windows/etc. suspects.

The scary thing is... I'm genuinely convinced he doesn't see any of his own hypocricy. Like, at all.
There's something perennially funny about tech blogs quoting Marc Andreessen saying some room-temp IQ phrase as though he's the next Einstein. "I like jailbroken AI" Marc says, with his erect penis in one hand and iPhone gripped in the other.

If American business keeps going through these paces, then we deserve to fall behind in technology even more than Russia and China do. Luckily, our brave leaders at A16Z put in no small effort convincing investors put their money behind the largest failures that the human mind can think up.
Courts in the relevant jurisdictions don't work on "no one really disputes."

It would have to be _proven_ in a court, which involves evidence and testimony, and if the whistleblower was in a good position to provide credible testimony then his death would likely make it harder to do prove copyright violations have taken place.
Satellites.
I think he was approaching the concept from the direction of "how many mips and megabytes do we need to create human level intelligence".

That's a different take than "human level is this many mips and megabytes", i.e. his claims are about artificial intelligence, not about biological intelligence.

The machine learning seems to be modeled after the action potential part of neural communication. But biological neurons can communicate also in different ways, i.e. neuro transmitters. Afaik this isn't modeled in the current ml-models at all (neither do we have a good idea how/why that stuff works). So ultimately it's pretty likely that a ml with a billion parameters does not perform the same as an organic brain with a billion synapses

Wrong. It's continuous, it's just not monotonically increasing.

Wikipedia's account says that the Boeing lost "about half" its wing.

Admiral Cloudberg - https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-fickle-hand-of-fate-... - says "nearly in half". But from the scaled diagram of the collision in that article, your "outer third" seems more accurate.

Either way - for anyone familiar with Boeing's WWII bomber heritage, the glossed-over assumption that the Boeing's situation was hopeless really sticks out.
I’d love to see that implemented, yes, but it would be even better if all cars' speed were automatically limited to the speed limit of each road.
I don't know the dollar figure here and I would hope Capchase is a company that will value their reputation over screwing you on that dollar figure, but I would definitely question why you signed an agreement to pay for a product even if that product is not deliverable. One of the primary value adds to the middleman in a transaction is generally that they take on some of the risk.

The data is collected even if you don't use the app or hit agree. The manufacturer has your personal info attached to the car from the warranty info. They're required to collect it so they can send you recall notices.

It's trivial to put a car in limp mode if the vehicle computers don't detect all the modules the manufacturer put there. It's slightly less trivial to detect missing antennas, but that tends to disable other features people enjoy like directions and data. Manufacturers simply don't care to cat-and-mouse this right now.

Afaict OP's not comparing neuron count, but neuron-to-neuron connections, aka synapses. And considering each synapse (weighted input) to a neuron performs computation, I'd say it's possible it captures a meaningful property of a neural network.

TÜV certification has always been more about certification theater and being able to verify that you don't have egregious amounts of negligence than certifying that you are doing your work well.

Do you have a source for that? In 2022, 64% of Google's data center energy was carbon free [1]. I was not able to find similar numbers for Microsoft or Amazon, but they have significant green energy investments as well [2][3].

My perception is that Google is the leader in this space but I don't have data to back that up.

NIST Proposes to Standardize a Wider Variant of AES
I agree that we have a wealth of capabilities available. The modern Cortex M7 cores are fantastically powerful.

Still, cramming everything into a main core had tradeoffs. It's a big core to wake up & run, with significant power draw. If you start running a bunch of stuff, it can be hard to meet realtime constraints, to provide reliable processing where needed.

The blanket statement that more cores is more complicated feels too broad. There's times when io cores are much simpler cinceptually, such as when you have realtime needs such as drones might. Subdivision of responsibility & dedicated cores is a powerful way to de-complect concerns. And it can bring huge energy savings.

Multi-core is also the chip making strategy that actually makes sense. We can cram so many transistors onto a tiny tiny chip, but what do we use the transistors for? We can keep trying to build bigger faster single cores, but there's only so much instruction level parallelism and caching we can actually effectively utilize. Having tiny io cores dedicated to specific tasks can use an incredibly tiny amount of extra die space, while providing incredibly low power dedicated processing for specific subsystems. Seems like a win.

Let's resist making broad statements like "you don't need". What's "needed" might not be what's best. We should have open minds to consider advantages & disadvantages. I for one think tiny io cores can later in amazing possibilities, have seen the rp2040 as a huge leap in capabilities (throwback to the Parallax Propeller with wide SMT like behavior) that's enabled a ton of interesting flexibility & novel low power embedded creations to get off the ground.
well yeah but it's un-obviously a very big difference that basically invalidates any conclusion that you can make with this comparison.

Well in hindsight, that was a silly thing to do...

First step- make sure you have read and understand your contract. Is there a cancellation period? What state laws may apply (Some states a allow a cooling off period, but often this applies only to consumer contracts, not B2B).

Second, contact Capchase via email and see if they will will allow you out of the contract "peacefully". If they are smart, they will so "sure, no problem, of course" and cancel the contract. If not, name and shame them everywhere you have an audience.

Third, if that doesn't work, you can either proactively sue them to cancel the contract, or just don't pay them and let them decide whether or not to sue you. Doing the latter may result in a negative report on your business credit.

Yep, and this will be the end of CARIAD. Volkswagen has already b decided to bleed them to death with the Rivien joint-venture. I guess they'll shut down the rest of the operation much, much faster now. This is the perfect reason for them to do so and what they have been waiting for.

- scour your network for any contact there at all, even former people
- try to get in touch with their bd folks and the head of the department you have an impact on
- do the same thing for all their vendors
- do the same thing for all their big customers
- run some hyper targeted ads for your product or a ghost product you brand as better than them or a jamf-killer or something. And/or about helping their competitors
- email some investors in their industry and directly ask them for a contact; offer advisor shares for a successful result
- email publications or authors in the industry and ask for their advice; offer to pay
- email consultants in the industry and ask for their advice; offer to pay. Try to find ex execs from your target company.
- create a demo / mvp focused on demonstrating the minimal version of solving this one problem, write about it a lot, promote it in every way possible. This will also help with every other part above.

As for your original question, you need to polish up a really really tight, convincing explanation of why you have a golden goose. Simultaneously you need to be ready to convincingly explain why you did a good job creating that golden goose but aren't going to take it the last bit over the finish line and start collecting the proverbial golden eggs. Then you should start reaching out to some of the same folks as above, especially relevant vcs and consultants in the industry. You could approach this as wanting to take on a cofounder ceo or try to get money but the former will probably be easier (and won't prevent someone from offering to buy you out if they want that anyway). Venture studios and search funds are out of fashion these days but those kinds of things would be really good vehicles for you to offload this and have a chance at retaining some upside (or getting some cash).
It's not an either-or. It could be an Aaron Swarz, the persecution by his opponents triggered his own mental health and thus a suicidal response.

There are strong signals that continuing to scale up in data is not yielding the same reward (Moore's Law anyone?) and it's harder to get quality data to train on anyway.

My view: LLMs are not getting us to AGI. Their fundamental issues (black box + hallucinations) won't be fixed until there are advances in technology, probably taking us in a different direction.

I think it's a good tool for stuff like generating calls into an unfamiliar API - a few lines of code that can be rigorously checked - and that is a real productivity enhancement. But more than that is thin ice indeed. It will be absolutely treacherous if used extensively for big projects.

Oddly, for free flow brainstorming like associations, I think it will be a more useful tool than for those tasks for which we are accustomed to using computers, required extreme precision and accuracy.

POWER is well positioned for socket or core-based licensing (Oracle uses core-based, IIRC). Intel and AMD do two threads per core, AMD does one. POWER does up to 8. If you have an Oracle database, running it on a POWER system under AIX might save you some money. POWER also runs the IBMi platform, a distant descendant of the AS/400. It's a very sophisticated operating system, with interesting concepts such as making no distinction between RAM and disk - everything lives in a single address space from the OS's PoV. Weird, but also cool (it's always cool to use something that's neither Unix nor Windows).
